This setup makes a great shower stall and is used solely for this function.

You're being fictitious . . . right? If not, then let me explain.
The forward head is fitted out nicely with teak doors on the above sink counter storage lockers and below. Not a large space but big enough for it's intended purpose. There is a 4 ft extendable hose, stored below counter and attached to a hand shower mounted above counter - directly adjacent to the Lavac. Even though there is a tiled floor with a sumped drain, we do not use this space for showering - would make a mess of everything, including the teak and two towel holders. The hand shower does serve as a means for rinsing the bowl after use.
The aft head is large and completely enclosed by high pressure laminated marine plywood. There is a tiled floor and drain, a Lavac and a bulkhead mounted shower mixing valve, with shower hose and spray mounted above. A shower curtain covers the teak hinged door enclosing this compartment . . . sit on the Lavac when showering. This is a dedicated shower stall - works very well with a venting portlight and waterproof surfaces.
The teak sink cabinet with hinged counter concealing the sink, is outside of this space - within the private double cabin.
Why does this sound disgusting?
